Jimmy Carter thanks his lucky bunny everyday for Odinga as he hands down has won the “Worse President Ever” title!
Methodology
Rasmussen Reports collects data for its survey research using an automated polling methodology.
Generally speaking, the automated survey process is identical to that of traditional, operator-assisted research firms such as Gallup, Harris, and Roper. However, automated polling systems use a single, digitally-recorded, voice to conduct the interview while traditional firms rely on phone banks, boiler rooms, and operator-assisted technology.
For tracking surveys such as the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll or the Rasmussen Consumer Index, the automated technology insures that every respondent hears exactly the same question, from the exact same voice, asked with the exact same inflection every single time.
All Rasmussen Reports’ survey questions are digitally recorded and fed to a calling program that determines question order, branching options, and other factors. Calls are placed to randomly-selected phone numbers through a process that insures appropriate geographic representation. Typically, calls are placed from 5 pm to 9 pm local time during the week. Saturday calls are made from 11 am to 6 pm local time and Sunday calls from 1 pm to 9 pm local time.
After the calls are completed, the raw data is processed through a weighting program to insure that the sample reflects the overall population in terms of age, race, gender, political party, and other factors. The processing step is required because different segments of the population answer the phone in different ways. For example, women answer the phone more than men, older people are home more and answer more than younger people, and rural residents typically answer the phone more frequently than urban residents.
For surveys of all adults, the population targets are determined by census bureau data.
For political surveys, census bureau data provides a starting point and a series of screening questions are used to determine likely voters. The questions involve voting history, interest in the current campaign, and likely voting intentions.
Rasmussen Reports determines its partisan weighting targets through a dynamic weighting system that takes into account the state’s voting history, national trends, and recent polling in a particular state or geographic area.
I guess more and more folks are ‘wee-weed up’ than they thought.
And it’s only gonna get better (worse).
He is all wee-weed up.
The people are frustrated because they perceive that Obama isn't doing a very good job of getting his agenda passed, particularly health care and cap-and-trade.
Finally.
“Overall, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) now disapprove.”
A wonderful start to a beautiful Sunday.
I think when the kids go back to school in September (without as many school supplies and really cool clothes),
that too will make the polls drop....these kids will help
educated some of their friends (who’s parents have not woke
up yet)....
Expect the numbers to retreat a little from this new low, but I'm thinking the upcoming week will continue to see his unpopularity index in the double digits.
As I've said before, a key indicator is that his approval is lukewarm (out of 48% approve, only 27% strongly approves) while his opposition is increasingly hot (out of 51% disapproves, 41% are strong disapproves)
Obama and the democrat party are doing the impossible: Alienating the angry old farts and SSD disability crowd, who are both on Medicare.
I agree with GOP National Chairman Steele who was taunting the democrats: “Go ahead and pass the bill. You don’t need any of our votes.”
-14?Does that mean he’s so bad,that dead people can’t even stand him?
Interestingly, this big shift happened in the month when “no one pays attention to politics”.
It also seems that more of the shift comes from loss of support than rise in opposition.
Time for End of Life Counseling for this presidency - do not resussitate!
He need to get his s**t together.
When in reality...
That’s BUSH’s fault!!!
This proves that Obama’s plan is working. See, change is tough, and all you big babies...uh, I mean, voters, OF COURSE are going to react this way. Hey, did I mention I was black? Look at the cute puppy!
